Featured reviews
I should have trusted the IMDb average rating of 4 but I was conned by the 6 pages of reviews consistently giving it 8 or more, with comments including "triumph", "best movie I've seen this year", "epic" and "Shakespearean". Who are these people? Well whoever they are most of them signed up between 1 month and 1 month 2 weeks ago, just after the movie was released.
If I were a cynic I'd say that someone from the production team has spent a couple of hours creating fake accounts and writing glowing reviews of a s***e movie. In fact I am saying that. The only thing that baffles me is why would someone want to draw attention to such a poorly made movie? All anyone who is conned into watching it will think is that it's terrible.
Onto the movie itself. Wooden acting. I mean seriously bad, totally unconvincing. I mean even to the extent that someone trying to simply look at something looked poorly acted. I still don't know how that can be achieved.
If you've ever seen Big Fat Quiz of the Year you may remember the children of Mitchell Brook Primary School acting out various new stories from throughout the year. The actors in this movie must look to those kids in admiration. That's how bad this movie is.
Do yourself a favour, trust the bad IMDb rating and avoid this one. With most, if not all, of the 60 good reviews twisting average from 200 votes as I write this, the score should really be lower than 4.
It's utterly appalling!
Leave well alone.
The script, storyline and acting are truly awful. What makes it even harder to watch is ALL the sound effects and dialogue appear to have been over dubbed onto the film, so any acting that was done is lost!!.
The acting is really bad, the story is even worse.
I have to agree with other comments about the fake reviews. When you look at all the reviews scoring this film highly, ALL the reviewers joined IMDb in April 2014 !!!!!!
I recommend everyone avoid this film, unless their house or a friend is in the background, cos there is no other reason to waste any time on this film. It really, really is rubbish. I am sure the film people didn't set out to make a bad film, but it should have been shelved. It is not a film to have on a CV.
